Constable General Bernard Nubin of the “Israel” Police Station, Achimota Mile 7 District, and three other civilians are assisting the Accra Regional Police Command in the investigation of an alleged attempt to defraud an American of 20. 000 dollars.
The three civilians are: Kwabena Ofori, Joshua Boateng and a Kueey, currently at large.
They were arrested for attempting to sell a quantity of fake gold to a foreigner, whose name is not disclosed.

The suspects, seeing that the plaintiff had detected that the gold was fake, rushed to a waiting Toyota Corolla Saloon car, with registration number GW3441-15, parked outside the restaurant, and sped off with the $ 20,000. .
The complainant then shouted for help, and a responsible driver of a Pontiac Vibe sedan assisted the complainant in pursuing the suspects.

vehicle were stopped but Kueey managed to escape.
A small bag containing two suspected fake gold bars was recovered from the car and the suspects, including the gendarme, were arrested.
The Toyota Corolla Saloon car used in the attempted crime was seized.
